lyrics

"Packet of fags and a jug of coffee
Outside this old café
He stretches a smile across his face
But he knows he'll need more to get him through the day
Shades over his eyes, people going to and fro
The fools, the strangers, friends he used to know
All passing by like a stream of ghosts
Wondering what to do and where to go
While across the street an old man sits on a ledge
Telling the good old stories of the golden age
When you could once feel the heat in the lure of the mines
When he once was a young lad with an innocent mind
And you can feel the passion in every word
That tear running down it don't tell no lies
But as the day retreats and the night makes its way
He drinks up and passes out
In the streets of Ales

When I go down to Ales town
I run into my old friend Jess
He says 'Hey Vinnie, it's been a long while
You know thing here ain't been all the best'
They walk the streets by thousands seeking a job
Or even just a kind word, a smile or a nod
But weeks go by and nothing seems to change
Wearing that same blank expression on your face
So they rush into the cafés, spend their money well scraped
Me I sit there for hours, reminiscing with Jess
About the time we spent rolling down these streets
Don't take no prisoners, don't take no shit
Then crash by the station, talk for hours on end
With our ten cent meals looking over
The streets of Ales

Oh Ales town, where have you gone?
What happened to the streets we used to roam?
What happened to the hobos in the park
Who showed us our first tunes, we'd share a meal and a laugh
What happened to the riots down the avenue?
The filth, the fury, the black and the blue
Back to October 2010, wild and bold
We grow up and they grew old
The streets of Ales"
